As we set to embark on this journey, we seek your blessing and love for this union of cultures, for which we are forever indebted and grateful,' the couple said in a joint statement.
The duo has been in a relationship for sometime. Lin, 37, is a model, actor and businesswoman, who has featured in films such as Mary Kom, Rangoon and recently Jaane Jaan.
